About the Artist
Cayman Quilters
est. 1993
Cayman Quilters is a collective of local quilters dedicated to continuing the long tradition of craft in the Cayman Islands and raising funds for charitable organisations. The group was started in 1993 at the suggestion of Monica Gore, wife of former Cayman Islands Governor Michael Gore, and has met weekly in one another’s homes since that time. Past and present members include Debbie Calder, Maureen Collins, Carmen Connolly, Lucinda Cruikshank, Geraldine Duckworth, Doreen Gray, Marilyn Henrion, Glenys James, Sandra Joseph, Julia Kandiah, Pam de Lisser, Judy Massie, Meg Paterson, Suzanne Smith, Jilly Stone, Val Strang, Sybil Watler, and Jill Wood. Their work is in the collections of the Cayman Islands National Museum and NGCI, and was featured in Art of the Cayman Islands, the Islands’ first formal art history (Scala Fine Art Publishers Ltd., Fall 2016). A special commission, Creation, which won The McCoy Prize in 2004, hangs in the Baptist Church in Little Cayman.
